I watch a lot of Bluey with my granddaughter. But my favorite is Seelook. Mesmerizing.

I think I made it through 2 episodes of Breaking Bad and just stopped. Same with Succession. My favs on the list are Game of Thrones and Handmaid’s Tale. I liked Scandal as well. I’m not much of a TV watcher since 1989.

The lawyer for the Venezuelan man shot by ICE yesterday says he was discharged from the hospital and transferred to ICE detention while the bullet was still inside of him, and that in Pearsall he's not received any pain meds and was forced to sleep on the floor.

The government moving or hiding jailed people to avoid review by courts isn't some loophole in our habeas corpus rights. This government behavior has been considered a violation of the people's habeas corpus rights since at least the Habeas Corpus Act of 1679. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habeas_...
Jailors were forbidden to move prisoners from one prison to another or out of the country to evade the writ. In case of disobedience jailers would be punished with severe fines which had to be paid to the prisoner.[5][6]

I want to thank the service member who shared their story about what it's like to serve right now. It's not easy to be honest about burnout and open-ended orders when you're still in uniform. Every service member has a constitutional right to speak up. That's not unpatriotic or inappropriate.

PM Carney responded to Trump’s “Lake America” nonsense with a 400-year history lesson and the word “hydronym.” 😂 FYI: a hydronym is the name of a body of water. Translation: “Donald, the lake had a name before your country even existed. Sit down.” 😭🇨🇦 Lake Ontario - then, now and always. 🍁

Dolly Parton and Donald Trump were both born in 1946. Parton was born into poverty in a one-room cabin in Appalachia. Trump was born a millionaire in one of the most diverse places on Earth. One dedicated her life to love and joy and generosity. The other dedicated his to selfishness and cruelty.

It’s true that Dolly Parton was a country music icon. But far more importantly, she was a human decency, kindness, empathy & generosity icon. And we lose her at a time when those traits are more urgently needed than ever, especially in the USA. As we honour her remarkable life, honour those traits.

Dolly Parton, country music icon, dies at 80
In May, she announced she was canceling a Las Vegas show and said she’d been undergoing treatment for kidney stones for several years.

Our world would be less divided if we could all come together and agree on two indisputable things: 1. Dolly Parton was a remarkable songwriter and performer, and we should all mourn her passing. 2. Donald Trump is a malignant narcissist and sociopath who should be nowhere near the levers of power.
